Days 15 – 22

Well, I kind of dropped the ball on blogging the past week… so, here’s a quick update on the past week!

Day 15 – I ran out of pain pills and this was by far the worst pain day since the surgery on Monday. I basically slept all day until my “favorite” was able to being me some Ibuprofen and Tylenol to start rotating through. Not much happened this day besides sleeping, eating, and watching TV. Maybe a few emails answered, but that’s all for work.

Day 16 – Luckily, my Thursday softball team’s game was rained out. I say luckily because I wasn’t able to go even watch so this way I don’t miss the game. I worked this day (from home like always) and rested in the evening.

Day 17 – Friday was a nice day. My nose was feeling significantly better, so much so that I couldn’t wait to get out of the house. I accompanied my “favorite” out to Oakton, VA to drop something at his boss’ house. We stopped at this cute little Italian place and had some AMAZING wood-fire grilled pizza! And appetizers, and dessert, and everything I shouldn’t eat. 🙂 Comfort food helps my nose. I Swear!

Day 18 – Saturday morning I checked out a room in a house in Ballston as my lease expires 9/11 and I want to move. I really, REALLY liked it. Spent the rest of the day at my place, lounging and resting with my “favorite”. Early evening we went to his house to hang out with a couple friends, but I didn’t stay long and came home to bed.

Day 19 – Sunday I met my friend, Rachel, for lunch at this great place called Seasons 52. I went all out with a pre-meal drink, entree, and a small shot of Carrot Cake with a latte. Again… my nose deserved some comfort food and it was the last day of having my cast on. She went with me to look at a condo for rent, then we parted ways. I kept on looking at 3 more rentals throughout the day before spending some time with my “favorite” and coming home.

Day 20 – FINALLY! My nose cast came off!  Then I bought donuts because, well, my nose deserved them. I stopped by my “favorite”s house to share some with him before returning home to work. In the evening, I ventured out to watch my Monday night softball team play as I still cannot. I stopped by my “favorite”s house afterwards for a short bit before returning home to rest.

Day 21 – Busy day! Worked all day then viewed 2 places for rent, one with a roommate and one without. Neither of them seemed to be a great fit, so I was looking forward to the rest of the appointments throughout the week. I had dinner with my friend, Peter, then came home to rest and sleep!

Day 22 – THAT BRINGS US TO TODAY. Ugh. Blogging every is WAY easier than blogging once a week. Lordie. I think I remembered everything I did this past week. I think. Today I’m working then checking out a couple more rentals followed by a couple X-Life calls. Busy day again, but I’m loving it. I was getting WAY tired of being laid out. Glad to be active again, even if not 100%

*wipes forehead* I told myself I would maintain this blog for a YEAR. I’m not a huge fan of setting goals and dropping them so… we keep trucking along.

My mood has significantly increased since being able to get off the couch and not hurting so bad. Oh, and I started an account on OK Cupid. Oy. Dating sucks but hey… sometimes you just gotta do it!

That’s enough for today, THANK GOODNESS. Live long and prosper!

Day 14

I don’t know if I ever want to get married again. When I think about marriage, I don’t feel positive things and thus have no desire to do so; however, as I sit in my house healing from surgery, I’m reminded how much easier life would be with a committed partner. Someone who cared so strongly about me and loved me so much so that they can’t stop themselves from making me a priority. Someone who comes to my side even when I say I’m fine, don’t come.  Someone to lean on when times are hard to take some of my burden to help me get through a little easier. Someone who listens and is attentive enough to notice when a little more care may be needed in dealing with me at any particular moment.

Is this a pipe dream? I’m not a simple woman. I need a lot of attention and are what people may call “needy” and “high maintenance”. I’ve been this way my whole life, middle child!, and don’t really see it changing. I’m wondering if maybe I’m just a little too much for one person to handle. Meh, just musing today. Sitting around not doing anything and being stuck inside leads to time just thinking and that’s not generally a good idea for me. I like to stay busy doing things and living life, but I’m stuck here with a broken face trying to mend.

I have a lover. I adore him. We’ve been in a non-exclusive relationship for over 2 years. He’s not capable of supporting me and being the man I need/want. It’s hard and has been hard the past few weeks. I don’t like talking about him much here on this public forum for everyone to see, but it’s relevant to this post. Someday I’ll have to move on from him to give myself the chance to find someone a bit more compatible. I have very deep feelings for this man and it’s so sad that it just isn’t the right fit.

Once my nose has healed and I can be a bit more active, I need to get back to focusing on my life, career, health, fitness, and everything. This will help. For now, I eat ice cream!

Days 3, 4, & 5

Wooooo the past few days have been QUITE the whirlwind. I continued my birthday festivities with a massage on Friday afternoon then a National’s baseball game on Friday. It was so fun getting to hang out and to know fellow colleagues on my corporate softball team.

Saturday, I slept in way later than normal due to the late night before, but still got up and had a friend over with her baby, WHO IS ADORABLE. I cannot get enough of him! I wound up having to work about 4 hours Saturday because one of my client teams needed some surge support to meet a Monday deadline. I didn’t stay up very late at all becauseeeee…..

Sunday I floated the Shenandoah with some friends! It was nice to leave the phone in the car and just unplug for the afternoon. Of course my body is a little mad at me this morning thanks to the sunburn, battle wounds with the bottom of the river, and the DELICIOUS fried oreo sundae last night. We stopped at a really great seafood place on the way back and it was amazing. Here’s a pic of my sunburned knees (belly is burnt a bit too) and big ole boo-boo on my right shin. I’ll heal. 🙂
